Market commentary

Conall MacCoille, Chief Economist at Bank of Ireland, said the slowdown in price inflation, the increase in listings and a pick‑up in homebuilding are positive signs for homebuyers. Joanne Geary, Managing Director of MyHome, highlighted a widening gap between first‑time buyers and movers: first‑time buyer transactions are up 12 % year‑on‑year, while mover transactions fell 1.2 %. Mortgage lending reflects this split, with first‑time buyer loans up 6.6 % to 12,567 and mover loans down 4.1 % to 3,785, meaning first‑time buyers now account for three‑in‑four mortgages.
